The design objective was converting an apartment building into a publishing company office without changing the main core. The building accommodates a board meeting room, library, administrative and operational offices with their auxiliary spaces with a unique vista of Bosphorus. The interior design of the building reflects the colorful and dynamic world of publishing.



Challenge
To use the maximum potential of the interior space on each floor; lighting, air conditioning, and circulation routes have been carefully considered. Different floors, designed with different flexible furnitures and plan schemes, aim to separate working and resting scenarios.
